-- Nanjing

On the map on the wall, one red line after another is starting from Shanghai, Nanjing, and Shandong, and is constantly moving closer to northern Jiangsu, and on the map of northern Jiangsu, the two blue and orange troops are attacking each other, completely unaware of the danger behind them.

A fleet did not know when it sailed to the edge of Shanghai, and several aircraft carriers were making final preparations at sea. The pilots were looking at the charts, listening to the orders of the superiors, and writing and drawing from time to time.

Zhongxi Gong in the intelligence center looked at a series of intelligence orders, all of which were related to northern Jiangsu, and looked at the crowds in and out of the general staff, and suddenly understood in his heart that something big was going to happen in northern Jiangsu.

-- Jiujiang

Originally, the port where merchants were dense had been completely blocked, surrounded by Japanese troops, as if afraid of who knew, there was another warship on the river, looking at the short Japanese soldiers who came down from the boat, the coolies who were forcibly recruited to carry ammunition and materials hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that the Japanese soldiers would not like it and suffer a big loss, but there were two coolies in the crowd whose eyes met, nodded, and the two covered each other, and from time to time wrote down the number of people and weapons and equipment that came down from the ship.

After dark, the coolies were driven out of the port, and the two scolded their mothers, while arguing about which kiln sister's ass was more upturned, and they came to a shed, and a cleanly dressed middle-aged woman in the shed saw the two of them, and said with a smile, "Come on, come on, come in and sit, it's not expensive!" Not expensive! ”

One coolie showed his yellow teeth, turned back to the other and said, "I think it's good, how much is it?" ”

The mother smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, then you have to come one by one, mom is old, I can't help the two of you, hehehe." ”

The other coolie said with a righteous face, "Then I'll wait outside, and I'll come back when you're done." ”

The coolie nodded and said, "Thank you!" So saying, he walked in with the mother.

Soon, an invisible radio wave flew from the shack towards Chongqing.

And by the river, under the few starlights and a few faint light bulbs, the Japanese soldiers who got off the boat during the day got on the boat from a small port in a village, Okamura Ninji looked at it and nodded, and said, "This location is very good, the neighborhood is cleaned up, right?" ”

Toyama Geming, who was behind Okamura Ninji, nodded and smiled, "Please rest assured, the general, there is no guarantee that there will be no living Shina people around here, and it is said that this place was a port for smuggling between the north and the south in ancient times, so it is very hidden." ”

Okamura Ninji nodded, and asked again, "Is it really known to Chongqing about the fact that we are smuggling troops into Jiujiang?" ”

Toushan Geming said with a smile, "Please rest assured, we specially let some coolies see that we are transporting troops, those coolies have the biggest mouths, and sooner or later they will tell the special agents in Chongqing that our people have discovered that there are radio waves in Jiujiang that do not belong to us, so it must be the special agents from Chongqing who are in action." ”

Okamura Ningji patted his head and said, "You are very good, then I will leave it to you here, I want to go back to Jiujiang to show my face, and then I will leave for Wuhan." ”

Toushan Geming bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, I will definitely arrange here." ”

-- Yan'an

Chairman Mao was sleeping on the bed, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, Chairman Mao said impatiently, "Who is it?" ”

Zhou Guansheng said, "Chairman, it's me, and Comrade Li Kenong. ”

When Chairman Mao heard that it was these two people, he knew that it must be a major event, so he hurriedly got up and asked, "Is something wrong?" I'll be out right away. ”

As soon as Chairman Mao came out, Zhou Guansheng said, "Chairman, something happened, look at it, this is a secret report from Nanjing, and the Japanese army is preparing to attack northern Jiangsu." ”

Chairman Mao saw that he was contacting the original matter, and immediately said, "It is very clear, the Japanese army is going to take advantage of our battle with the Nationalist Army in northern Jiangsu, attack the base behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu, and immediately send this news to Chongqing, in addition, order Ye Ting to immediately contact the Taizhou army, if we can fight together, then prepare to fight against Japan, if we find that the Taizhou army does not cooperate with our army, immediately evacuate, do not hesitate." Order Chen Yi's department to find a way to break through to the north, and order Lin Sanhu's department to go south immediately! ”

Zhou Guansheng nodded, and immediately prepared to go down to arrange, at this time, Zhou Weiguo ran over, took a telegram, handed it to Chairman Mao and said, "Chairman, this is an urgent telegram from our host." ”

Chairman Mao opened it and sighed, "This is really everything coming together, Germany called, Hitler is going to start a war, just a few days ago." ”

Zhou Guansheng immediately said, "Once the German army goes to war, it will be the beginning of World War II, and our time will be less and less. ”

Chairman Mao walked a few laps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, he beats him, I beat mine, send a telegram to Mr. Zhu, and ask when the time is ripe to launch the second battle of Suiyuan, we have to speed up the pace." ”

-- The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army

Liu Dake and the others saw the urgent telegram from Yan'an, and immediately asked, "What is the situation in Taizhou now?" ”

The staff officer reported that "there seems to be something wrong in Taizhou City, and now many of the defenders have been transferred back to the city, and we have caught a few tongues, saying that Li Changjiang has kidnapped Li Mingyang." ”

Xiang Ying immediately said, "Then you can't wait, let's withdraw immediately." ”

Ye Ting pointed to the map and said, "The withdrawal must be fast, once the Japanese army blocks the river, it will be difficult for us to get out." ”

At this time, a communications soldier came in with a telegram and said, "Report, Danyang urgent telegram." ”

Liu Dake took a look at it and immediately said, "Oops! The guerrillas in Danyang came to report, saying that countless devils were marching north out of nowhere, and according to this direction, they were going to Taizhou. ”

Ye Ting looked at the map and said, "According to the time, the time of contact between the Japanese army and our army should be around 6 o'clock in the morning, and we still have three hours to go, so we must make a decision immediately." ”

Xiang Ying didn't want to believe in the Taizhou army anymore, he said categorically, "Don't think about it anymore, evacuate immediately, the Taizhou army will definitely not be able to fight with us, and then we will have to be attacked from both sides." ”

Liu Dake nodded and said, "Give an order immediately, if it drags on, our troops will be in danger." ”

-- Taizhou

In the city of Taizhou, the defense area along the Jigang has been divided into two distinct parts, and some people loyal to Li Mingyang have already set up machine guns and cannons against Li Changjiang's troops, and they have kept shouting inside, threatening to let the New Fourth Army enter the city and fight together if they don't release people.

The scene inside is completely different from what the people outside imagined, Li Changjiang knelt on the ground, but Li Mingyang was sitting on the Taishi chair, but Ji Gang and others stood next to him with guns and pointed at Li Mingyang, telling him not to move.

"Big brother, just listen to the little brother's advice, this Japanese army is coming, let's hold our troops first, let the New Fourth Army and the Japanese army fight, no matter what, it will only be good for us!" Li Changjiang didn't know how long he knelt down, and said again.

Li Mingyang closed his eyes and refused to say a word.

Mr. Rong persuaded next to Li Changjiang, "General Li, since Commander Li is so stubborn, forget it, when the wood is ready, Commander Li will naturally admit it." ”

Li Changjiang stood up with the support of Mr. Rong, looked at the wall clock behind him and said, "It's four o'clock in the morning now, just remember what you said." ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion, and Li Changjiang looked outside nervously and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Did the rebels do it? ”

A soldier came to report and said, "Report to the commander, it is the New Fourth Army that has begun to withdraw, and it is still carrying torches, as if we are afraid that we will not know." ”

Li Changjiang touched his head and asked, "Withdrawn?" Still with torches? Which one is this? ”

Mr. Rong immediately ran out and asked, "With a torch?" Where did they go? ”

The soldier replied, "It's in the direction of Gaoyou." ”

Mr. Rong sighed, called one of his guards and said, "Send electricity to the house immediately, the New Fourth Army is about to run away!" ”

Li Changjiang didn't understand yet, and asked, "Hey, what's going on?" ”

Mr. Rong looked at Li Changjiang, exhaled a breath and said, "General Li, the New Fourth Army already knows that the imperial army is coming, and they are ready to run in advance, that is to say, when the imperial army comes to Taizhou, there will be only you Taizhou Army. ”

Li Mingyang opened his eyes and shouted, "Li Changjiang!! If you dare to do anything to betray your ancestors, I will shoot you. ”

When Ji Gang heard this, he put a gun on Li Mingyang's head and scolded, "Dead old man, what do you say? I don't know who shot whom! ”

Li Changjiang hurriedly grabbed it, looked at Li Mingyang with an angry face, and then looked at Mr. Rong and Ji Gang with a gloomy face, and regretted that he had led the wolf into the room.

Time passed minute by minute, the New Fourth Army had all left, and the sky was gradually white, Mr. Rong said, "General Li, if you don't decide, when the imperial army launches an attack, many things will not be something I can grasp." ”

Li Changjiang glanced at Li Mingyang again, and said with difficulty, "Can we really continue to guard Taizhou?" ”

Mr. Rong said with a smile on his face, "Of course. ”

Li Changjiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to negotiate with you, but there are still many people outside, and I can't control it." ”

Mr. Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, the imperial army will solve all these problems." ”

Li Changjiang knelt down in front of Li Mingyang and said, "Big brother, when you pass this level, it's up to you to fight or kill, but today, I have to help our Taizhou army defend Taizhou, big brother!" Saying that, Li Changjiang kowtowed three times, then got up and left with Mr. Rong.

-- Nantong

Dozens of Japanese bombers suddenly flew to Han Deqin's subordinates, who were attacking the New Fourth Army, Han Deqin looked at the bombers in the sky, and was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, he pointed to the sky and said, "This... Where the hell did this plane come from? ”

"Report!! Urgent telegram that a large number of Japanese troops had descended from Shandong and would arrive in Huai'an at noon today, and their target was probably Xinghua. A communications soldier said with a telegram from Shandong.

Han Deqin gasped, Xinghua was his lair, but now that all the main forces have been brought out, as long as there is a brigade of Japanese troops, Xinghua may be lost.

Before Han Deqin could digest it, another news came that no less than one division of Japanese troops had appeared from Shanghai and was rushing to Nantong, and it was expected to arrive at the battlefield within three hours.

At this time, Han Deqin felt a fatal crisis, he sent troops in the hope of blocking the Japanese attack, while shrinking his forces, he didn't want to resist the Japanese army, but also to fight with the New Fourth Army, and Chen Yi and Su Yu also let out a long breath, they had already received a telegram of the Japanese army's actions, but Han Deqin was too tightly glued and had no chance to withdraw, and now he finally moved north immediately. While preparing to withdraw, Chen Yi thought that after all, it was all Chinese troops, and finally asked someone to bring a message to Han Deqin, persuading him to withdraw first and wait for the Japanese army to pass before counterattacking.

Han Deqin really had this plan at first, but after getting Chen Yi's letter, he immediately put the evacuation behind him, and he said to the New Fourth Army that sent the message: "Your New Fourth Army usually says that you love the people every day, but when the Japanese army comes, you run the fastest!" I, Han Deqin, want to debunk you hypocrites! You bring me a message to Chen Yi! There is only Han Deqin who died in battle, and there is no Han Chuzhen who retreated! When I'm done cleaning up the Japanese army, I'll clean up you rebels again! Get out of here!! ”

The New Fourth Army was unwilling, but when he heard Han Deqin say this, he was even more angry, so he left angrily, and Han Deqin watched the New Fourth Army leave, and suddenly felt some regret in his heart, but he was also unwilling to go back on his word, so he hardened his head and prepared to block the Japanese attack while dealing with the bombardment in the sky.

The strategic situation in northern Jiangsu was in great chaos because of the chaotic entry of the Japanese army, and in Xinghua and other places where the main force was drawn, it was impossible to resist the attack of the Japanese army at all, and the Japanese army occupied a large area behind the enemy in less than three days, such as Xinghua and Taizhou, and the New Fourth Army of Chen Yi and Su Yu was also forced to disperse and transfer.

-- Nanjing

"A big success!! What a success!! Nishio looked at the battle report and said excitedly, "Northern Jiangsu, which has always regarded itself as China, has been swept away by the imperial army in less than four days, and I believe it will soon be completely mastered." ”

Itagaki Seishiro said with a smile, "It's just that the New Fourth Army is still there, and what the Red Party is best at is mobilizing the masses, if they are still in northern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu is far from being wiped out!" So continue to find the New Fourth Army Headquarters and annihilate it! ”

Nishio nodded and said, "Okay, I'll issue the order immediately." ”

Seishiro Itagaki picked up a piece of information that was placed next to him, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "The Poles attacked the borders of Germany? How is this possible? ”

When Nishio heard this, he nodded and said, "I also think that there is probably something hidden, the German government is putting pressure on Britain and France, saying that it will punish Poland." ”

Itagaki Seishiro put down the information and said, "We have to speed up the 101 and 102 plans, I have a hunch that the situation in the world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and at that time, it is not certain whether we can launch such a large-scale attack, we must find a way to take Changsha and force Chongqing Chiang to end this war!"
